He will he a Candidate.

The New York World prints what pur-
ports to be an official and authoritative in
terview with President Cleveland in which
the President is represented as saying that
he would much prefer to return to private
life at the end of his term, but if his adj
ministration should justify the reason for
substituting in control of the government
the party which represent for that which
had administered the affairs of the people
for quarter of century" and if his par
ty should wish him to remain at the head OF
the government for another four years,
then he should feel it his duty to accept a
denomination. The interview has the sound
and appearance of having been devised for
the distinct purpose of formally entering
Mr.. Cleveland as candidate for second
term

From the spirit and tenor of the reports
of the railroad hearing which were sent to
the daily press, as well as of the report in
the Montpelier Waterman this week, which
calls the case one of great cry and little
wool, it looks as if some one was employed
in the interest of the railroad companies
and their attorneys to misrepresent the
hearing and belittle its results before the
public if possible. But these tactics have
not succeeded. Through the medium OF
papers which own themselves the facts have
gone before the public, and they will bear
abundant fruit in the illumination which
they will give the people on a subject which
concerns their welfare so vitality. 1t is of
ten said by men of experience that what
railroads and other monopoles fear is pub
licity, and this looks like case in point.

Mr.. G.. G.. Benedict, the state historian,
has prepared and sent out a personal ex-
PLANTATION in answer to the unfounded
charges which have been circulated through
the state to the effect that the delay in the
issue Of the second volume of "Vermont in
the Civil War" is made purposely for the
benefit of the compiler of the work and the
publishers. Mr.. Benedict says the delay is
solely for the benefit of the subscribers and
Of the public. The publication of the first
volume reused up for the first time soldiers
and others having war material in their
possession to realize that history was be
ing published food of correspondence,
documents, diaries, war letters and the
like, began to pour in on Mr.. Benedict, and
these it has been his duty to edit, collate
and otherwise embody in the history which
the state has employed him to prepare.
Much of the work already done had to he
recast, and it is for these causes alone that
the work has been delayed. Instead of be
ing a source of profit to Mr.. Benedict or
the publishers, the delay has been an injury

VILLAGE FIRE DEPARTMENT


rHB ANNUAL PARADE GOOD SHOWING AND
QUICK ZINE MADE by THE FIRE LADDiEs
The annual parade Of the village fire de
partment was held last Saturday afternoon.
At o'clock the companies formed in line
Of march in front of the steamer house ON
Elliot street in the following order
First Regiment Band
Chief Engineer and Assistants.
Steamer Company No, (. IL men
Protector Hook and Ladder Company, ~ men
Steamer Company No. 3, II men
The march was short being only mp Main
street, around the common and back, the
companies then being dismissed and return
ing TO their several quarters for rest and
lunch Instructions had been given out
that at a signal from Crosby's whistle, at
some time between the lunch hour and 4
o'clock, all the companies were 10 come out
AZ for a fire. The companies were expected
10 be at their quarters, but were ~ have
their doors closed, the steamers b. have no
fires under their boilers, horses ~ DO in
Burke's stable and Embarrassed Each
company had its instructions, and Ut 10
minutes before O'Clock the signal was
given. The two steamers ran through
Main street to tho reservoir at Rockers
corner getting up steam by the way, and
q
No. 3 had its hose in place in minutes f.
seconds, and had mp 60 pounds Of steam in
1920. No 4. got its hose in place in 1
minutes, and go pounds of steam in 10
minutes. Phoenix hose company with eight
men at the rope, ran from their house ON
South Main street to the hydrant at Hook
er's corner, n distance Of 1900 feet in $50 I:
made connection in 2;l5, laid $50 feet Of
hose and got water in $50. The hook and
ladder company ran tO the Baptist church
and got a ladder up in l:j0
The time made in these trials especially
considering the lack Of previous practice,
is quite remarkable, and the exhibit IA a
whole was the most satisfactory ever made
1t proves that the department is in frat
class condition, and goes far to justify the
change made from the old volunteer svs-
tenn. Another thing was also made more
evident than before and this il the great
value of the hydrants connected with Crow
ellis aqueduct The minutes and 20 sec
ond gained over the steamers bv the hose
company in taking water from the hydrant
represents valuable saving Of time.
The quick time made by No 3 steamer
in getting ready for work shows that the
$1,000 recently expended upon her was not
thrown away and Charlie Thompson, the
darkey driver who got her into position IS
seconds ahead Of Geo. Herrick, driver for
No. 4, also considers that he did a hand
some thing. Chief Turner and his assist
ants reflected honor upon themselves and
the department by their satisfactory and
harmonious conduct Of the affair.

THE A. C. AND L. ASSOCIATION.
An Organization Which COmmends Itself to
Business Men-Shutting Off Dead Beats"
The Desideratum of the Age.

There have been numerous attempts by indi-
reporting agencies which would meet the require
menrs of business circles. The difficulty of sue
cessfully covering any considerable area has
been one not easily surmounted. Indianapolis
Just now. in view of the natural gas boom, is
claiming great many things. but whether she
gets them all is question. But one thing which
she can claim confidently, with fear of any
one success fully dIspuring her right is that she
has the Oldest collecting and reporting associa-
ton in the United States, and one which
has at all times printed reports reg
ularly, missing quarter. The
American Collecting and Reporting Association
has larger membership than any ten similar
organizations 1t is Endorsed by the leading
merchants and professional men. and its officers
of unquestioned integrity and sterling
business character 1t has been Incorporated
year, and was organized in 1878 Its in
calculahle value to the retail merchant and pro-
Fashionable man at once commends it. 1t is
saves annually many times the price of ad-
mission to il.
In plain words. the American Collecting and
Reporting Association TO be sort OF
satisfactory arrangement mt for the discovery and
exposure of bad pay and any plan or organi-
cation that will effectuaily suppress this uude-
sirahe class of customers Will be a boon and a
blessing to business men.
The association Headquarters in this city are
in the Evening News Building Room g. The
manager, Mr.. n. ). Allison, is genial gentle
man, and his long experience with the associa-
ticn and his well-known business qualifications
eminently TT him for the position.

BIDS FOR BUILDING THE TUNNEL.
Owing to Uncertain Terms Of the Contract
They Are $40, 900 Above the Estimates.

When new union depot was assured, the i'm
provement of the Illinoisstreet tunnel became
necessity. and City Engineer Sheerer and F. G.
Duran, engineer for the Union Railway Compa-
ny, by instructions from the Council prepared
an estimate for the improvement. The ordi-
nance stipulated that the improvement should
not cost more than $50, 900. After several
months work Messrs Sheerer and Doran reported
the estimated cost of the improvement at ST.
558. &c, and to that was added for contingencies
81, AL "a, making the total $50, 000 When the
estimate was reported Mr.. Sheerer was author
lied TO advertise for bids for the work. The
contract provided that the tracks passing over
the tunnel should be supported by the contractor
during the progress of the work. 1t Mr..
Duran's duty engineer of the Union Railway
Company to state what kind of supports
the company would require, but he refused to
furnish any Information on the subject, and in
timated that probably seven more tracks than
the tunnel was finished. His refusal to specify
what the company would exact from the con-
tractor for the tunnel scared the bidders, and
yesterday. when they were opened, the lowest
one was SO. 900 above the estimated cost. They
were follows:
Morse Bridge COMPANY, Youngstown, O----$45 $50
Whitsett q Adams, Indianapolis .--- $4,000
Pittsburg Bridge Company, Pittsburg 4O,50O
Canton Iron Bridge Company. Canton, o. 90 200
The city engineer refused to let the contract.
and will report TO the Council tomorrow night
the state of affairs. 1.-The tunnel can't be built
If F. G. Duran continues as engineer for the
Union Railway Company" said he last evening.
II do not see how the plans can be changed, and
know the work can be done for $50, 000" The
$50 900 has been paid into the city treasury by
been released from all further responsibility in
the matter.

WILL NOT PAY A CENT.
This Is the Declaration of Col Johnson Re
garding the Washington Street Pavement.

The Council committee on streets and alleys;
Messrs. Bowen, Bradshaw and Yohn, repre-
senting the WashiEgton-street property owners,
met in the city clerks Office to consider the pro-
posed improvement of Washington street by
paving with Medina stone The citizens com
mittee reported that there was but little. if
any, opposition to the improvement from
the property owners along the thoroughfare,
and believed it was the general wish of all con-
cerned that the ordinance should pass. The
question to whether the street railway COM
pany should be compelled to pay for any of the
work came up, and the city attorney gave it
his opinion that. under the ordinance of 1884.
they would be compelled to bear the expense of
reported that President johnson, of the
pany, had told him that he would not
pay cent toward the improvement and
all he would do in the way of keeping
mp the streets would be to replace a bowder
when a mule kicked out of the track. Ac-
cording TO the terms of the ordinance, the Street
Railway Company will be called upon in twenty
days after its passage to pay their share of the
expense, and if they refuse action to compel
them to pay will be taken.
There considerable discussion as to
whether the pavement should end at Tennessee
reported for the State officers that they
were in favor of the improvement
but had no money to put into it at present The
committee talked the matter over, and finally
concluded that il would be foolish to stop
Tennessee street and leave the square along the
vote they agreed to report in favor of going to
Mississippi street. 1t decided to make a
unanimous report at the Council meeting to-
morrow night that the ordinance be passed.
